Tutorial: Success with AlfaOBD over USB on my '09 1500 5.7
Older thread, but I wanted to post here on my struggles with even the USB option after years of no success trying multiple Bluetooth ELM OBD2 scanners, and even the OBDLink CX (which says its supported for our model years). I found this thread and immediately ordered a Forscan ELM USB scanner...- SkylarMelo

How To: 4 Ohm Resistor Upgrade For Aftermarket Dash Speakers
Just did this mod, could definitely tell there was a volume difference between one with and one without the resistor, but not as much as I was expecting. Nonetheless, I definitely prefer this over what I had before, and now I'm less worried about distortion or overly loud highs. Also, as someone...- SkylarMelo

No power, key stuck in ignition, wont shift out of park, truck is locked down... help!
I've had this issue come and go for years now on my 2011. I only noticed it after putting in an aftermarket flash logic remote starter. While driving I'd have all electronics go wack, gauges act up or just turn off, sensors stop working, lights on dash, the whole lot. Eventually if I turned off...- SkylarMelo

4th gen power/auto dimming mirrors
Yea my original mirrors on my SLT (no puddle light) are the same size glass. I'm not sure on the year of the new (used) ones I bought, but I believe a 2016 or something. I've seen multiple other trucks with the same setup, smaller mirror glass, larger plastic bezel on the driver's side, then not...- SkylarMelo

4th gen power/auto dimming mirrors
Can I ask a question on the look of these two mirrors. I just purchased the same ones and noticed that the glass mirror size itself is smaller on the driver's side than on the passenger's side. From looking at your sale photos, I see the same thing. From taking both glass pieces of the mirrors...- SkylarMelo

Need help! In the middle of installing backup camera, can’t find spot to run wires out of the cab!
If it hasn't been said already, you can cut the e-brake rubber grommet under the the driver's side carpet and get the wires up through there. I wouldn't recommend it only because I've had a large coil of spare wire tucked up underneath the dash, but it definitely works.- SkylarMelo

AlfaOBD
Thanks for the info! I was hoping to get away with not having tospend anything on a new reader if I already had a working one. I'm contemplating ordering a cheap one off Amazon (Veepeak) that another Ram owner has that works for him. We shall see! What were your interface settings for the...- SkylarMelo

AlfaOBD
Hi folks. Got a 2011 Ram 1500, 5.7. I had originally tested the AlphaOBD demo app with my FIXD scanner tool before buying the full fledged app. My test was basically just that I could connect to the tool in the app. Now that I bought the app, and have connected the FIXD tool successfully (after...- SkylarMelo

Front lifted higher than the rear WTH?
Definitely agree that the rake is a bit excessive, they probably did it to compensate for the use of coil springs instead of leafs. My dad's 2013 chevy flexes the same amount with a 26' loaded camper trailer as my 2011 ram with a 18' boat lol. Both 1500s, but one is leaf, one is coil. This is...- SkylarMelo

Front lifted higher than the rear WTH?
Am I wrong in saying that anyone with a levelling or lift kit that has no rake will end up being like these guys once a load is put on the back? I'm 25 and hate this front end to the sky bs as much as the next dude, but every levelled truck will end up looking like this with a load...if I could...- SkylarMelo

Interior Illumination color, green or blue/white?
Hey guys, A couple years back I did a front bumper/fog light conversion using factory parts on my '11 SLT. The headlight switch to the left of the steering wheel ended up being illuminated with the newer white/bluish light, versus my older style greenish light. Does anyone know when this...- SkylarMelo

Still love lookin' at my 17' truck. Anybody else?
Sometimes I think of buying a newer style one, without the crosshair grill and that has the big RAM lettering on the tailgate, but then I look at photos like this and it keeps me satisfied- SkylarMelo

Magnaflow 18” Experience?
I have the 18" Magnaflow single to dual out, left the resonators in and I love it. Cold starts in Vancouver I never get old of, nice loud roar. When it warms up the idle is not bad at all, can barely hear it inside the cab, when stepping on the gas you can definitely hear it, but with some music...- SkylarMelo

New Brakes all round
140k km on my 2011 Hemi. Did front and rear pads and rotors in September. Went with Raybestos Performance rotors and Raybestos Hybrid pads. All in all happy with the outcome. Rotors are coated and slotted. Pads make zero noise unlike my old ones. Both provide good stopping power, haven't tested...- SkylarMelo

Lets see your NON OEM Fog Light Setup
I have a SLT which didn't come with the fog light bumper. For $300 I bought and installed the bumper, got the OE-like smoked light housing off of ebay for $40ish, then bought the wiring harness and switch for $200ish. Probably way more than an aftermarket setup will get you, but I like the clean...- SkylarMelo

Lowest Mile 2011 Ram In US?
Congrats on the truck, amazing find. I still love the original 4th gen front face of yours and my RAM. Now something to keep in check, oil changes. My 2011 had the cam/lifters go at 120k kms. Not saying all are like me, but MANY with 2011s are, so please for my sake change your oil regularly...- SkylarMelo
